Good thing about Bogdan is that despite struggling from outside shooting (1/9 3pt) he still somehow had a good game. Had some nice assists (especially in the first half), he made some big baskets in the 4th quarter (1 three, 2 or 3 nice layups and some free throws) and played good defense on Bellineli (Marco had his worst game in the tournament) overrall.

Serbia vs Russia should be a great game! I would like to see if Bogdan outplays Shved in this big game.
Actually, I am surprised by Shved. He has been fairly impressive. It is strange that he did not make it in NBA.

Really impressed by Bogdan. Leads his team to the Euro Finals "Leader of the Horde" has to be the best nickname I've heard in a while. It's really down to Bogdan or Dragic for who wins the MVP of the tourney.

Slavic basketball school still the best in the world.
Serbia has lost 8 of the best 12 players who won two silver medals in a row, losing just against USA in the final, and still have the chance to win Eurobasket. We are talking about a 7 milion citizen country, smaller than NY city. That's crazy.
I'm going to support Serbia just because they didn't give a fake passport to an American player as Slovenia did with Randolph.

Nothing has impressed me more about Bogdan than the fact that he's almost single-handedly pushed this group of the few remaining healthy players on the Serbian roster all the way to the Euroleague championships. I mean, aside from Boban, the only guy on the current roster who's seen NBA time is Ognjen Kuzmic and he most just spent time sitting around on the Warriors' bench or in D-League.

While his numbers haven't been as gaudy as Slovenia's stars, Bogdan deserves to be this tourney's MVP. Also, he's freaking clutch as hell.

He's really more of a scorer than a shooter, if that makes any sense. Like Kobe, he can make almost any shot but he won't at the rate of a shooter. (I'd like everyone to please note that I am by no means saying Bogdan is the next Kobe or anything dumb like that)

Stefan Jovic, staring PG for Serbia, was injured yesterday against Russia. They say he will play (like Willis Reed with one leg if he needs too), but he injured his ankle and he couldn't walk after, so im not optimistic about him playing at all. And Jovic is great passer and defender, very important for Serbia. In that case our chances are lower, and that also means Bogdan will play point guard a lot. Facing Dragic and Doncic at backcourt, probably guarding Dragic. So if we want to be competitive tommorrow in the finals, Bogdan will really need to step up in all aspects - with defense, dictating tempo, creating for his teammates and himself, shooting, ...
